I have a dead ASUS ROG STRIX 1080TI OC sat in my office that's already been replaced with a new GPU. I had visions of getting it repaired and selling it on but looking at eBay they are going for £150ish less ebays cut. So seems little point in paying out for a repair to then sell it on for a...

I was already looking at 4070 as seems best bang for buck for my ageing system but should still be a decent jump from a 1080ti. I was specifically looking at the Asus TUF OC 3070 - says it uses a single 8 pin PCIE connector. I presume that is different from the 6+2 (x2) I am currently using. So...

My PSU was bought in 2019. Ive looked in the cable bag and there is a spare 6+2 pin PCIE / VGA cable. Cant find much on it other than: https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Super-Flower-Leadex-II-80-Plus-Gold-Power-Supply-modular-white-850-Watt_63112.html I was specifically looking at an Asus TUF...

Interesting and made me double check but yep its identical to the same 2x6+2 cable in the PSU spares bag. Tried the spare cable in a different PSU port and no change at all.

Thanks. Will try the different cables and psu ports. I dont have a friend with a PC nearby tbh.

Thanks. I wasnt sure on the fans but seemed to remember they do spin on boot up. I just found the cable pouch that came with it so will try a different PCIE slot and then different cables and different PSU slot. Stripping it down is a bit ahead of my comfort zone.

Stock cables. PC was an OCUK build.

Looks like my trusty old Strix 1080ti may have given up. Looking at what options I have for a GPU upgrade and thinking refurbed 3080 or 4070 but wondering what restrictions I may have. Seems that 3080 needs 2 x 8pin PCIE connectors and 4070 1x16 pin PCIE connector. Looking in my bag of leadex...

Its been a little flakey recently with the display just cutting out randomly. Tried 2nd DP port and same thing. Temps seemed to be fine in GPU Tweak. Normally after a reboot or 2 its back and then runs fine for a week or so but yesterday was playing a game and it just crashed out and now the...

Sanhok got reverted back. Game for me is not at all enjoyable with the server issues to the point of I cant be bothered to play. One game I join and ping is 20ms and hitreg is decent then same game is 45+ which isn't high but it then fluctuates and seem several hits of packet loss. Next game...

The main problem is its not affecting all so most are just "its your connection, ISP etc" and it doesnt affect every match but most - its clearly affecting multiple ISP's in multiple countries. And they know that the A-A-fra servers dont have the issue but rather than send more matches to those...

PUBG actually drops your entire ethernet connection? Never heard that one. What has ruined this game for me (and probably my favourite game of all time) is the shiteness that is the servers. They have had an issue for probably a year now where so many EU players and ISP have issues to their...

Does anyone use a Zowie Mouse with PUBG and figured out how to get a decent scroll speed for looting etc? I found an old FK1 in my box of PC gear and actually feels pretty good but the scroll speed in game is annoying me. I seem to remember its something to do with 16 stage wheel they use as no...

Not played for a couple of months. Thought I would see if they sorted out the EU server issues so tried a bit of TDM but alas if I am on A-Z-fra servers my ping is like 3x normal and lag and hitreg is just a mess. I literally spot an enemy and before I can even ADS my screen slows and I am insta...

We use them at work and very comfy. I have a Noble Epic AMG and now working from home find it a bit too firm tbh. And I find it very hot during summer. Work giving money for home office furniture and a 25% HM discount so looking to get a Mirra 2 for home. If you are interested in the 25%...

If it helps you can get 25% off prices on HM UK site. Mirra 2 works out just over £600 but you get the full 12 yr warranty (dont believe the warranty is transferable so 2nd hand only has seller cover), 14 day return if you dont like it.

The Mirra 2 comes in two backrest options. Triflex which is the plasticky one for easier cleaning in workplace offices etc or the butterfly which has the more clothy mesh and is a bit pricier. I am going for the latter from HM direct as have a 25% off code and work pays £450 and its what I have...

I think Max is just that much better than his teammates. I think the only current driver who could challenge Hamilton (in equal machinery) is Max but I doubt we will ever get to see that before Lewis retires. And we don't know how Max would react to the mental games at the sharp end of a WDC...

Nico has said exactly this several times since retiring and covered it on his own YouTube channel. Lewis has so much natural talent and consistency that to have a chance to beat him you have to give 100% in everything you do for the entire season and it’s physically and mentally draining and...

Also depends what you play. I only play solo so want to have a chance of some decent loot and get in a few battles rather than spend my time travelling long distances to get in the zone. If your playing squads its probably more fun driving around etc. I actually quite enjoy TDM mode even they...
